Nouveau - Dec 2010 - ../nouveau_drv.so: undefined symbol: RegionEmptyData

Hi,

I get the above error message when trying to run the latest
xf86-video-nouveau driver from the git repository. It prevents the driver
from loading. If I revert back to the Debian version 
1:0.0.15+git20100329+7858345-5 of that driver, then the driver loads, but
there are many issues with that version that I hoped an upgrade could
fix.

Information about my hardware and software:

  GPU: GigaByte GV-N68128DH
  Kernel: 2.6.37 with the latest Nouveau git tree
  Drm: latest git version
  Nouveau: latest git version
  xserver-xorg-core: 1.7.7-10
  xserver-xorg-dev: 1.9.0.902-1

Below follows the contents of the Xorg.log. I hope someone can help.

Morten

You need to install xserver-xorg-core from Debian experimental as well,
1.7.7 is too old.

Someone kindly pointed out to me that the xserver-xorg-core version is too
old.
